What You'll Need:

1 spaghetti squash, cut in half and seeds removed

2 teaspoons olive oil, divided

1 1/2
teaspoon garlic powder, divided

1/4
teaspoon black pepper

1/4
cup onion, chopped

1/2
cup green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced

1/2
cup pizza sauce

1/4
cup low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese

6 slices pepperoni

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Brush the inside of each squash with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and black pepper. Place the squash cut-side-down on baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and remaining garlic, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in pizza sauce.

Spoon the mixture evenly into the cavity of the squash. Sprinkle with cheese, then top with pepperoni. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through.
